Ah, thanks for that. It was also mentioned in ep 3, IIRC.
Mighty6 gave us the Winterfell characters, so I thought I'd do the same for King's Landing. I'll need help with some of the names, though. Either I don't pay enough attention, or they really don't mention them that prominently on the show. I'll start with the ruling family, or rather families.
So, there's King Robert Baratheon. Was in love with Ned Stark's sister, but she was killed under the Targaryen 'Mad King', so Robert led a rebellion and usurped the throne. Lives a life of debauchery that has led to enormous debts, most of them to the Lannisters.
And then the Lannisters. Queen Cersei. The Ice Maiden, considers everybody outside her own family an enemy.
Her twin brother Jaimie (sp?) who has an incestuous relationship with the Queen. Also called 'Kingslayer' since it was he who killed the 'Mad King'.
And their other brother, Tyrion, the imp. Easily the most colorful character on the show.
The oldest son Joffry. A bully and a coward. Is supposed to marry Ned Stark's oldest daughter.
There are two more children Myracella and Tommen.
Then there's the 'small council'. There's King Robert's brother Renly.
Lord Varis - his specialty is information, and his spies are everywhere.
'Littlefinger' or Lord Petyr Baelish. Has a history with Cathlyn Stark, and runs several brothels.
And the 'grand meister', Pycelle. My guess is that he's not as forgetful as he claims.
